Can something be done against spammers?

About deleting accounts...I didn't do it, but new spam messages only have 1 post....so they found a way to register!

[little joey]

Yes, they probably still register by hand, but we've eliminated the bots, I hope. I'm sure, however, that with this team of moderators we can keep the time these spam messages reside on the board to a minimum, until the new system arrives. I overlooked sohel in my previous post (sorry), but I'm glad he's on the team too.

Let's keep this board useful and fun for everybody!

Good to see that the new moderators are doing some nice work. NO spams can be seen any more.

But I think it would be better if the moderators delete old posts instead of locking it as they are of no use and give a small tutorial (sticky) about using the board for the newcomers.

Agreed

sorry, i didn't understand that part; can you explain it better?

thanks!

[Darko]

Carlos, right now there are two posts on Live Archive boards from users registered 3-5 weeks ago. Can you please remove them for good? (They seem to post every week or something like that)

[Carlos]

sure! I'll also ban them....but I can't find such posts. Maybe someone deleted them? Do you remember the usernames?

[Darko]

Ah... I thought no one ever goes there, heh. No, I don't remember the names. Next time I see them, I'll write them down.

[EDIT] Actually, one is still there:

[little joey]

Yes, sorry. I clean up the board 3-4 times a day, and deleted them before I read your post.

[Carlos]

banned. Whenever you want some user to get banned, just tell me.
